Demonstrate a repeated GUI task once. OpenAdapt compiles it into a local program that makes no model calls on a healthy run. The same governed loop runs across every interface your work is trapped behind — browser, Windows, macOS, RDP, and Citrix — as one product. When the screen changes, it re-checks its evidence and either repairs the step or stops for a person instead of guessing. See how it runs across every interface.
Purpose-built for repeated, high-stakes GUI work that has no clean API and can be checked against an independent source of truth.
Hosted runs in minutes · or run it entirely on your own machine · zero per-run model cost · deterministic replay you can audit
How it works
Three steps, one governed loop. Healthy replay is deterministic; model spend is reserved for compilation or repair.
Demonstrate one bounded, repeated instance. OpenAdapt compiles the trace into a reviewable, parameterized program — not a prompt a model reinterprets each run.
Healthy runs execute the compiled steps locally with zero model calls, so repeat runs are fast and cost nothing per run.
Under interface drift, deterministic evidence re-finds the target, an optional model proposes a governed repair, or configured verification halts and preserves a run report.
Real reference workflow
Synthetic local data, real Frappe Lending interactions, and an oracle outside the replay path.
Reference workflow
Each reference is a bounded, synthetic fixture with its own honest evidence and caveats.
Complete one bounded, synthetic instance while OpenAdapt captures the browser evidence and input events.
Turn the demonstration into a parameterized, inspectable workflow with a declared business effect.
Execute the compiled steps locally without asking a model to reinterpret the task.
Check the saved record through a separately authenticated read-only session and a direct database delta audit.
Frappe Lending v16.2.0, Frappe v16.27.0, and ERPNext v16.27.0 were pinned in a local fixture with fictional values. The six compiled trials cover one task on one environment under baseline and cosmetic-drift conditions. OpenAdapt is unaffiliated with Frappe Technologies Pvt. Ltd.; Frappe is its registered trademark.

Real OpenAdapt Cloud app · synthetic OpenEMR workflowUI drift
OpenAdapt is not an unconstrained agent. Drift ends in one of four explicit outcomes, each visible in the run report.
Automatic
Structure, templates, OCR, and geometry try to re-find the recorded target. No model is required. A changed anchor is saved as an auditable bundle diff.
Optional
If deterministic evidence is insufficient and a model is configured, it can propose a target or confirm limited visual state. The model can be wrong; identity, policy, and postcondition gates still decide whether execution continues.
Operator path
A halt produces evidence for an operator. The CLI can teach a correction, and durable mode can checkpoint verified progress for authenticated approval and resume.
Unsupported drift
If no configured path can establish the target or expected result, the workflow stops. OpenAdapt does not claim general adaptation to arbitrary application changes.
Availability and refusal depend on retained evidence and configuration. Identity checks cover armed steps only; system-of-record verification requires declared effects and a configured verifier. Read the measured limits.
From demonstration to operation
OpenAdapt turns a demonstration into an inspectable workflow that moves from local development to governed operation without changing the workflow model.
Demonstrate a bounded, repeated task, including the evidence OpenAdapt needs to identify targets and verify outcomes.
Turn the demonstration into an inspectable program with parameters, target evidence, postconditions, and an explicit OpenAdapt certification policy.
The fail-closed run gate rechecks the exact bundle and selected policy. Healthy replay makes no model calls and produces structured evidence.
Re-resolve from retained evidence, propose a reviewable repair when needed, and stop when configured verification fails.
One execution model across your stack
From modern browser apps to legacy Windows and remote desktops, workflows stay inspectable, policy-bound, and governed by explicit verification.
Compile DOM, accessibility, visual, and interaction evidence into deterministic browser workflows.
Use structured UI Automation with retained visual evidence to operate legacy desktop applications.
Carry the same policy, verification, repair, and audit model into remote application environments.
Every interface, first-class
Every surface below runs the same governed loop, with its label read directly from a single machine-readable status manifest so the website, docs, launcher, and packages stay in lockstep.
Record, compile, and replay browser workflows end to end. Healthy runs make no model calls, and identity, effect, and policy coverage are enforced per bundle before anything executes.
Operate native Windows, macOS, and RDP applications under the same governed loop: structured UI Automation and accessibility evidence, effect verification against an independent oracle, and fail-closed halting when verification does not pass.
Run the governed loop across Citrix and VDI environments with a pixel-and-evidence safety floor. Identity, effect, and policy checks and halt-on-uncertainty carry into remote application delivery.
The managed control plane runs your approved workflows across every substrate with run history, reporting, usage, and governed updates, backed by live billing. Runtime data handling and customer-controlled boundaries are configured per deployment.

Is this the right tool?
OpenAdapt is deliberately narrow. It’s for repeated, high-stakes GUI work that has no real API and can be checked against an independent source of truth.
When work fits that shape, OpenAdapt runs it across every interface it touches — browser, Windows, macOS, RDP, and Citrix — under one governed loop. See how it compares with RPA, computer-use agents, and browser recorders on the comparison page.

Open source
pip install openadapt is the stable end-user entry point. The openadapt-flow engine records a workflow, compiles it into a reviewable program, and replays it locally with no model calls on a healthy run.
One command installs the OpenAdapt launcher and governed workflow compiler. The same CLI records, compiles, and replays across browser, Windows, macOS, RDP, and Citrix under one governed loop. No account or hosted service is required.
$pip install openadapt
Try the whole loop right now against the bundled demo app, which runs in the browser: record, compile, inspect, certify, replay, and induce known test drift. No account or cloud service. Once it is installed, your workflow data stays on your machine. One heads-up on first run: the first demo-record or replay downloads a bundled Chromium (~150 MB) once, so that step takes a few minutes, and on Linux you may need playwright install-deps first.
